What kind of person should attend University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus?

Victoria

I believe a motivated student would be compatible with Pittsburgh. If you do well in school and tend to not slack off, you would be a good fit. Pittsburgh is highly interested in students with career goals, and many students are motivated to get internships and co-ops to reflect that. If you are serious about pursuing your passion, while still wanting to be in a fun, loving environment, I would recommend Pitt to you. I would keep in mind that Pitt is an expensive school, especially for those out-of-state.

Allison

Students that attend the University of Pittsburgh need to be exceptionally driven and focused inividuals. The campus is large and the majority of core classes are held in large lecture halls with 300+ people. You need to be able to learn outside of the classroom, because professors are not always available to help when needed. With such a large campus, there are tons of distractions nearly all the time - parties, festivals, events, etc. - that can really inhibit your study time. If you can balance a demanding academic schedule and social life, then Pitt would be the school for you.

This school is best for people interested in science. If budget is tight or is a main concern for you, welcome. The teachers here are a mix of best and most renown, therefore a student must be resilient and dedicated. This is not a school for drifters; no one will nudge a student in the right direction unless asked.
